NO ROOMATE NEEDED....PLENTY OF ROACHES TO KEEP YOU COMPANY

I hate to sound so bitter, but who wouldn't be bitter when maintence waits a week and a half to spray for roaches. It's been a month since the first complaint and I am still seeing bugs (spiders, ants, what looks like ticks, and of course roaches). Honestly, when I first moved in, I did like the place. Although, the apartment had just been remodeled and I had to clean up the mess left from the contractors before moving in, I still liked it. But soon things began to go sour. The walls are so paper thin I could here the neighbor's telephone conversations, the dishwasher and garbage disposal broke on me several times, many cars were vandalized and/or stolen, there are never enough parking spaces even for the people who live there, and the management/leasing staff have always been short and unfriendly (with the exception of one person). I am so happy to be moving far far away. It's just annoying that I will need to "bomb" and sanitize EVERYTHING that has been in my apartment so I don't take little living souveniers from this nasty place....UGHHH! ROACHES!!

The only positives are the landscapers. They keep the entire Mark Center beautiful! Especially at Christmas time. And during the snow season, they are up at all hours ensuring the parking lot is clear and the sidewalks are salted. And they're actually really friendly!

Oh and if you are choosing to live here under the military set-a-side program...I strongly suggest you don't. There is absolutely no respect given to those who serve their country....or anyone for that matter.
